Riga Sinfonietta reviews
In Schubert’s Company: Maxim Rysanov with the Riga Sinfonietta
This recording began life when the estimable Maxim Rysanov launched a 200th anniversary competition, won by Sergey Akhunov’s In Schubert’s Company, a reflective tone poem that drifts and soars, and which then spawned a jazzily hectic take on Der Erlkönig, again for viola and strings.
